Abstract A computational investigation has been carried out for accurate determination of heattransfer in metal foams in forced convective flows. The single-blow method was used, in which, the fluidtemperature varies with distance and time and convective heat transfer becomes time-dependent. The method results in a transient andconjugate heat transfer phenomena between the foam and fluid. These transient temperature data thus obtained from generated C program codes are then compared withthe theoretical results to obtain the corresponding volumetric heat transfer coefficients between the fluid and foam solidsurface. The volumetric coefficients thus determined are compared against available sets of experimental data, so as to examinethe consistency among the reported experimental data.
